I love the concept! It's like, when you're playing Breakout, sometimes the ball is stuck in the upper section destroying blocks, you're just waiting for the ball to come back down. With this, you have something to do when that happens, it's so cool! I think if you were to add powerups (like shooting blocks for a few seconds or making the paddle a little bigger), this would be so much more fun than it already is! Good job!
Also, I don't know how I did it, but I got the ball stuck repeatedly going back and forth between sides. But that's more of a skill issue for me he he!
